Mumbai, June 17 (IANS) An excellent actor and a wonderful dancer, Mithun Chakraborty, recently turned 63, but he didn't allow anyone to celebrate the occasion, says his son Mahaakshay aka Mimoh.

The three time National Award winning actor, known to have die-hard fans both outside and within the film industry, never celebrates his birthday. What's more he doesn't allow his family to celebrate either.

Mimoh seems dismayed by his father's rigid decision to stay away from all birthday celebrations.

"We are never allowed to celebrate my father's birthday," said Mimoh. Mithun's birthday was Sunday and he shot for the "Bigg Boss Bangla" on the day.

Apparently, the "Bigg Boss" team was very keen to do the cake-cutting and candle-blowing, but the "Mrigayaa" actor begged off.
